Union delegates at Labour’s annual conference have staged a noisy protest ahead of a debate on the Government’s controversial decision to cut winter fuel allowance.
Members of Unite gathered outside the conference hall, shouting: “Save the winter fuel”, alongside the union’s general secretary Sharon Graham.
She will address the conference later to urge the Government to reverse its decision.
Wearing a t-shirt bearing the slogan “Save The Winter Fuel”, she said the Prime Minister had made a “mis-step” on cutting the allowance, and should reverse it.
“The Government is picking the pockets of pensioners and people are furious,” she said.
“We will continue to campaign to have the allowance put back into pensioners’ pockets.”
